Yeah 3mm would be enough for that!

I cant wait to see you at the next Nissan Challenge event. I saw your car up close at SOW but I had not seen your build thread til now. Woooo. I love 240 time attack builds done well.

Thanks Vatche, I will see you on the 22nd @ACS!

The big thing is running that bracket from the downpipe to the transmission mount/crossmember and taking weight off the turbo.
The next time I have to take it apart I, too, am just going to weld the turbine housing to the manifold and call it.

YES!

Got done with the splitter :
started with 2 stacks of 3mm aluminum composite panels. I used liquid nail to hold them together.
I used aluminum square tube to save weight on the bottom and welded some steel tubing to the bash bar.
stood on it to make sure it will handle the downforce.
I tore the middle of the panel and it started spreading so I reinforced it it with aluminum plate and carbon plate on top. Maybe I can use it for gopro mount in the future.
